<p>so. I tell you folks that its not a myth at all.
I got a 3.3 UW GPA first semester. that was 4.0 weighted
and i got 2.3 UW GPA 2nd semester. ouch. which was 3.0 weighted
i really didnt think that 2 B's and 4 C's 2nd semester was bad enough
but i guess i was wrong.</p>
<p>this sucks. truly.</p>
<p>wonder I i call them and try to explain my circumstances that theyll cancel their decison. pray for me</p>
<p>I'm sorry, that really blows. </p>
<p>Although with people worrying about 1 C, how did you convince yourself that 4 Cs would be okay? I think UCs are really upfront about their 3.0 rule that leaves little ambiguity on the subject. The second semester mantra at my school was "B-AVERAGE!" </p>
<p>And really, I don't mean to be unsympathetic. I hope that they hear your case :<</p>
<p>Wow,so its a reality that it happens. People make it sound like it happens every time the sun burns out(i thought so too).</p>
<p>Thanks for posting, it'll make me work harder after being accepted.<( hopefully).</p>
<p>Did you have any extenuating circumstances? Or was it just senior slide?</p>
<p>both. it was both a slide and some circumstances.
my dad got in some trouble and my mom had to move to LA to help him
so i was left by myself and all. giving my family a hard time
but not a good enough excuse i suppose</p>
<p>Call the school and explain your situation and beg and plead, oh and, beg and plead.</p>
<p>i have a question. would they count PE classes that i took at a community college into the gpa cuz they are uc transferable credit.</p>
<p>If a personal situation affected your grades then they might reconsider, otherwise you probably won't get anywhere.</p>
<p>Just be careful how you explain it, "we had a family emergency and I was left by myself" does not look good for someone who wants to go away for college.</p>
<p>no, only a-g courses count. Suggest you appeal in writing and explain your personal situation, and offer to retake a 'C' class this summer at a juco.</p>
<p>so..if they dont hear me out
anyone know a different option from community college</p>
<p>Rolling admissions somewhere, but if you got rescinded from UCLA, I'm not sure what school with rolling admits would accept you this late in the game. I'm sure there are some.</p>
<p>UCs are pretty selective, especially UCLA...but I guess you could try to reason it out with them but there's no guarantee at all. Did you apply anywhere else that you did get accepted to?</p>
<p>I didn't know final transcripts were reviewed already at UCLA. Aren't they due much later?</p>
<p>At most schools final transcripts are due around June 30th and are only reviewed in July.</p>
<p>Im pretty sure CSUN will accept you almost up til the year starts...if you have no other options find a state school near you.</p>
<p>whew. i got a call from UCLA about the appeal. they say take two transferable courses and get a D or better and theyll review my file. but isnt it a bit late to sign up for summer school ? ehh anyone know where i can take classes now if they live in LA</p>
<p>Santa Monica college has some classes available starting next week.</p>
<p>East Los Angeles College has two summer sessions, and Session II is from July 16th - August 17th. I'm not sure if registration is still open, though. Good luck!</p>
